Rainbow – Osaka 1978: Final Night (Double Album on Red Vinyl in Gatefold Sleeve)

Live at the Osaka Kosei Nenkin Kaikan, Osaka, Japan, 20th January 1978.

In January 1978 Rainbow were in Japan for the start of their Long Live Rock ‘n’ Roll Tour, the band played 15 concerts there until early February. Generally considered their finest gigs of the LLRR tour are the two shows the band played at the Kōsei Nenkin Kaikan in Osaka, and of these their second concert there was recorded for live FM broadcast.

This extraordinary gig captures this entire event to witness exactly what went down on this winter evening more than 40 years ago, in the land of the rising sun.
